Honey Requires the Honeycomb

"As honey requires honeycomb, so devotion needs to be structured by a learned and orthodox mind. As honeycomb needs to be filled, so ideas of the mind must also warm the heart and lead to activity in the world." Jean Gerson (1363-1429), On Mystical Theology

The Well is Deep

Study hard, for the well is deep, and our brains are shallow...
R. Baxter "the Reformed Pastor"

Truth Loves Light

All our teaching must be as plain and simple as possible. This doth suit a teacher's ends. He that would be understood must speak to the capacity of his hearers. Truth loves light, and is most beautiful when most naked.
R. Baxter "the Reformed Pastor"

Reverence

Reverence is that affection of the soul which proceedeth from deep apprehensions of God and indicateth a mind much conversant with him.
